I don't know what that first one means. You mean the glass design?

Yeah, spotlight has been rough for years, I grant you that.

I haven't seen a single ad in my system. Where do you see them?

You're probably an iCloud services user. Try a Mac without an iCloud account - it's nagging you pretty heavily to set it up, get an iCloud+ subscription, use TV and Music and Game Center subscriptions, and so on.

I don't even know what iCloud is, and I have seen zero ads. I don't understand such comments.

Oh please. Unless you’ve never opened system settings and got the device with a user account pre-configured for you, you have been exposed to iCloud several times.

Does it make one especially edgy to pretend to use an Apple device while never having heard the name of their single cloud offering? Whatever floats your boat, mate.

		Correct. My device is issued to me by my employer. I never owned a Mac in my life. I admit that my comment was a bit over the top. But all I know about iCloud is that it's similar to OneDrive. Never used it.

I am not. I don't even have Apple ID.

Not just glass. It started with Big Sur at least. It's forcing narrow and/or devoid of controls interfaces into every app, breaking decades-old system behaviours (misbehaving controls, wrong or non-functioning keyboard shortcuts, mobile-like interfaces in desktop apps etc.). It's eschewing MacOS-native development for shoddy half-assed ports of iPhone software even for first-party apps. Etc.

I've seen notifications for Apple Music, and I've seen ads in the System Settings
